Welcome Ms. Raino

We are so fortunate to have Ms. Raino as our student teacher this year!  She is in the second week of her first practicum and is teaching about an hour a day this week.  She'll be back again once a week, and then finally, back in the Spring for her long practicum.  The kids are really enjoying having her as part of our community.  She's pretty great!

Over the last week, Ms. Raino and I have been leading the kids in discussions around Remembrance Day.  We were fortunate to host Mr. Weeks and Mr. Purdie, two Canadian Armed Forces members who spoke to the Gr. 6/7 students about heroism and their experiences in the military.  We also spent some time looking at the Canadian Virtual Memorial honouring a number of service people who died in Afghanistan.  It led to a lot of interesting discussions around war, peace, Canadian military involvement, and heroes. We encourage you to ask your child their thoughts.

The following is a photo of our calendar.  Grade 7s are heading to Hamber on Thursday.  Don't forget to drop them off at Hamber, not at Wolfe!
